The 6 Components of The GAF Lifetime Roofing System
GAF StormGuard Leak Barrier
By creating a barrier at the most vulnerable areas of your asphalt shingle or metal roof (at the eaves and rakes, in valleys, around chimneys, etc.)StormGuard Film-Surfaced Leak Barrier helps prevent leaks due to water backing up in your gutters, wind-driven rain, and in the North, damaging ice dams. It will also help protect your home from expensive wall and ceiling staining from leaks.
GAF Deck-Armor Roof Deck Protection
Conventional organic felts can absorb moisture, causing buckling and wrinkling that can impact the look of your roof. Deck-Armor™ Premium Breathable Roof Deck Protection combines strength and breathability to help protect your home against wind driven rain and trapped moisture.
GAF Pro-Start Starter Strip Shingle
Pre-cut eave/rake starter strips are one of the most overlooked parts of a roofing system! That’s because some roofing contractors try to use a cut-up 3-tab strip shingle as the “starter” course on your roof. Unfortunately, these cut-up shingles may not have properly positioned adhesive to help reduce the risk of shingle blow-off. Pro-Start® Eave/Rake Starter Strips are made with a high-quality, properly positioned adhesive applied at the factory to help prevent shingle blow-off. Plus, installers like that they’re easy to use with no cutting on the roof, while homeowners feel good about the fact that they create less waste.
GAF Timberline HDZ Shingle
More homeowners in North America rely on Timberline HDZ Shingles than any other brand. They offer just the right combination of beauty, performance, and reliability. Now with GAF Time-Release Algae-Fighting Technology and LayerLockTM Technology, Timberline HDZ® offers everything you can expect from an architectural shingle roof, and more.

GAF Seal-A-Ridge Ridge Cap Shingles
